A food and wine festival that dreams are made of.

Feast Portland is a food and drink festival that celebrates everything that makes Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest awesome. It is also a festival with a mission to help end hunger in Oregon and across the U.S. From Thursday, September 17th through Sunday, September 19th, people from all over the country will be headed into the city for this event. Lucky us, we are a mere three-hour drive, bus, or train ride away. Portland is always a fun destination, but this event is definitely worth the trip.

Why do we Feast? We Feast so that when you buy a ticket to our festival you are doing much more than attending a food event. You are supporting the on the ground food access support that Partners for a Hunger-Free Oregon (PFHO) uses to launch or expand over 300 local children’s meal programs. PFHO has served over 700,000 meals to at-risk kids over the past five years. They help make food, housing and childcare more affordable for millions of working families.

We Feast to make certain that No Kid Hungry, a campaign of national anti-hunger organization Share Our Strength, working to end childhood hunger in America by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast and have healthy meals in the summer, and that families learn the skills they need to shop and cook on a budget. Since the campaign’s launch, No Kid Hungry and its partners have connected kids struggling with hunger with more than 345 million healthy meals.

Since 2012, Feast Portland has raised over $162,000 towards this cause. Join us, and help end hunger here in Oregon and across the nation. Support these charities by buying a ticket to Feast Portland where you can make a donation on the check out page. #WhyWeFeast
